Can't believe I haven't rated this one yet. Had it a few times recently and on tap. Pours a clear golden-orange. Well carbonated, huge-ass head. Taste is fruity, well hopped, pine notes and citrus flavors.

Aromas are of tropical fruits, not strong but present, citrus and caramel malts round it out. Flavors are a moderately bitter mix of grapefruit, honey, lemon zest, and orange along with the caramel malts. Overall its a nice ipa, solid not spectacular, but worth a try.

Pours a light amber with a head that dissapears quickly. Aroma is strong of hops with a hint of apples. Taste is typical of any IPA, nothing too special. Overall an above average beer. Sometimes typical is pleasant.

Poured a clear, light copper body under a brief white head. Aroma was hopped with citrus notes. Initial mouthfeel was too thing, but improved as we went forward. Flavour was decently hoppy and bitter, although spoiled somewhat by a metallic aftertaste. Far better on tap.

Bottled (thanks Kalevi Kurronen!). Goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized white creamy head which leaves some slight lace. Aroma is fruity and floral hops along with ome sap, caramel malts as well as quite grassy and bready notes. Flavour is quite much the same along with some mild herbal notes. Quite fruity and floral hoppy finish. Nothing mindblowing, but a pleasantly balanced mellow IPA.

Mediocre IPA. Coming from the brewer of some remarkable beers, this one is disappointing. The biggest problem is simply that it’s rather bland. The liquid is a bright gamboge with a rocky slightly off-white head. The aroma is mostly citric with some peaches, probably all from hops. The flavor is relatively dry but lacks any real depth. The hops just seem to fade away too quickly. There’s a bit of bright bitterness initially but the finish is weak and a bit watery. Caramel malt has some presence, but that flavor even gets a bit sour.
